About my collection


Why to collect beer labels ?
- Because it is a collection easy to realize
- Because you can discover a few beers that you do not even supps !!

My collection count actualy end september 2022 :
- 4335 belgian labels
- 3903 from other countries

With 3000 breweries (in activities or missing) within Belgium, there is still much research to be carried out.

Notes
1. This collection only includes the labels that are really in my owned

2. It is categorized by regions and breweries at the time of publication of the label and does not account for all subsequent mergers.

3. Some breweries brew beers for the wholesalers, brotherhoods, associations, etc.. It is not always easy to find the original brewery. Therefore the label is classified under the name of the third.

4. A label does not mean a beer, indeed brewers can market the same beer with different labels and even under the name of a different brewery.

5. Each label is unique and sometimes has only little difference from a similar one

Collection of Belgian brewery labels.... (and other countries)

This site aims to present to you my collection of labels. It is still in development and full day by day...

The goal is not to create a site on beer, there are plenty on the internet, but to make you discover the graphics of the labels. Sober, distinguished, vulgar or whatever, they are there to seduce us

The beer is very complex. The four main ingredients that compose it are: water, malt (from the fermentation of barley), hops and bitterness that gives the yeast.
